[Wanted] Advice: BX2450 screen or MSI 570 Twin Frozer

[BrettRuthnam]

Halo everyone

I'm in a predicament, I currently am running a 19" with res @1280x1024 (sad, i know )
Also i am running a GTX260 192sp.

Question 1: Should i get a BX2450 or a GTX570?
Question 2: Will i be able to run a GTX570 as a main card and a GTX260 as a Physx card on a Asus Maximus Extreme board? (bios is up to date)

Incase you need some of my system info:

CPU QX9770 @4Ghz
Ram DDR3 1600Mhz
PSU Antec HCG 900W

Thanks

I also needed to choose between a bigger screen or better GPU a while back. Went for the bigger screen and I have to say I don't regret it at all. It makes the worlds difference

Question 1: Get the BX2450. GTX570 is Overkill for a 19" running 1280 x 1020
Question 2: Yes, you can use the GTX260 as a Physx card

Just my opinion, hope it helps you out

Thanks Animal,
Hey nice screen you have there ;-) i saw it in a samsung store and it's HUGE!
Perhaps i'll do the screen now then maybe next month do the GPU.

Skrew that get the gpu and scavange money together to get a cheap 23 inch sell your gtx260 and 19 inch and get a cheaper screen..then u have bragging rights and u can see what nonsense you are typing to your friends about your new gtx570

my advice is get the screen then 2 weeks later get the gpu ...

Hey CGN1, This is unbelievable a goat that fetches soup.

The GTX260 can hold its own with 1920x1080, get the monitor first.

UPDATE:

I have just went out and got the BX2450 it's a really good screen.

Also just as Mean_ST "Advised" I have decided to get the GTX570 in about 2 weeks. (Though i am uncertain as to which one. The MSI 570 twin Frozer or the Asus 570 HD?)

Thanks for all the replies
Keep well

PS... CUD is a horrible thing to have, i wish it upon everyone on the forum
Cheerio
